The meteor rain of the táuridas ones takes place every year between end of October and principles of November, when the Earth crosses a river of associated space dust to the Encke comet. Tiny grains of that dust strike the atmosphere to 104,000 kilometers per hour, speed at which the very small dust speck brings about an intense ray of light when it is disintegrated.

Since these meteorites seem to leave a point in the constellation of Taurus, they are called Táuridas.  Although the majority of the years rain is little intense and produces little more than five tenuous meteorites hourly, this year (like it happened in 2005) the Táuridas will present/display everything a spectacle. The phenomenon will reach its maximum between the 5 and 12 of November.

The best moment to observe the meteor rain is around the midnight, when the constellation of Taurus is placed almost in the zenith.

The Organization the Meteorite International recognizes that the rain of the Táuridas cannot be compared with those of the Leónidas, since is a slow drizzle every few hours. Nevertheless, she recommends to throw an eye to the east sky month, because a meteorite drizzle is something that is not due to fail to take advantage of.
